Modern microbiology: Embracing complexity through integration across scales.
Review in Cell, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Microbes were the only form of life on Earth for most of its history, and they still account for the vast majority of life's diversity. They convert rocks to soil, produce much of the oxygen we breathe, remediate our sewage, and sustain agriculture. Microbes are vital to planetary health as they maintain biogeochemical cycles that produce and consume major greenhouse gases and support large food webs. Modern microbiologists analyze nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites; leverage sophisticated genetic tools, software, and bioinformatic algorithms; and process and integrate complex and heterogeneous datasets so that microbial systems may be harnessed to address contemporary challenges in health, the environment, and basic science. Here, we consider an inevitably incomplete list of emergent themes in our discipline and highlight those that we recognize as the archetypes of its modern era that aim to address the most pressing problems of the 21st century.
